SnipFrame
Read full descriptionHide full description
A camera that lets you draw the frame with your finger. Whatever shape you trace is the shape your photo keeps. Circles, stars, donuts, cutouts that follow an outline. Photos don't have to be rectangles. Trace a closed shape on the screen and the picture keeps that exact shape, with everything outside left transparent, so you get a cut-out image right away. DRAW THE FRAME Everything inside the line you trace gets captured. Don't like it? Just redraw. Stack multiple strokes to add or erase areas, so donut shapes or a kept-center cutout are all within reach. SAVE AND REUSE FRAMES Name a shape you like and save it. Next time, pick it from your library. PRICING Free to shoot. Multi-stroke drawing and unlimited saved frames unlock with a single one-time purchase. No subscription.
